I wouldn't be surprised to see Peterson step down at the end of this season (but only as President and GM, staying as CEO) and letting Thum and Kuharich take over the President and GM roles.
This would not do anything to make me more optimistic about the future of this franchise.

Bill Kuharich would be elevated to GM, then trade all of our draft picks for Adrian Peterson.

I just don't see Clark Hunt, having just buried his father, canning the guy who he expressed 18 years worth of confidence in. I don't see it.

I'm serious. It's so easy for people to say "shitcan CP" but no one has a solution on who to replace him with. I'm not a CP apologist by any stretch of the imagination, but I can't come up with a realistic replacement, either. |

Exactly. As I said in one of the other threads, either of those two would basically be like having Carl Peterson Jr. at the helm. |

Scott Pioli...NE Pats VP Player personal http://www.patriots.com/team/index.c...sbio&bio=12539 Scott Pioli is in his seventh season with the Patriots and has worked in concert with Head Coach Bill Belichick to build a consistent championship contender in New England. Their shared football philosophy has produced three Super Bowl championships, three conference titles and four division crowns since 2001. Once Pioli and Belichick arrived in New England in 2000, it took the pair just two seasons to rebuild the foundation of the team. Since orchestrating the franchise's first Super Bowl victory following the 2001 season, Pioli and Belichick have executed a plan to produce continued success, becoming the only personnel director/head coach tandem in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a four-year span (2001-04). The Patriots are the only NFL team to win at least one playoff game in each of the last three seasons (2003-05) and are the only team in the league to win nine or more games in each of the last five seasons (2001-05). In recognition of his achievements, Pioli was awarded The Sporting News' George Young NFL Executive of the Year award (voted on by NFL executives) following the 2003 and 2004 seasons. He is one of just three NFL executives, along with Bill Polian and Bobby Beathard, to win the award in consecutive years. Pioli is the youngest executive to win the award. The primary objective of Pioli's personnel philosophy is to build a team, not to simply collect individual talent. As a result, the Patriots have been able to prosper despite the NFL realities of injuries and the salary cap, which have proven in the past to be impediments to long-term success in pro football. In each of the last three seasons, the depth and versatility of New England's roster helped overcome key injuries to win three straight AFC East titles. In 2005, the Patriots utilized 45 different starters, setting a postmerger NFL record for a division champion. In 2003, the Patriots won Super Bowl XXXVIII despite using 42 different starters, the most in league history by a Super Bowl champion. In 2004, the Patriots employed 40 different starters as they won their second consecutive Super Bowl. Of the 53 players on the Patriots' final 2005 roster, 39 were acquired after the team's first championship in 2001. In an era of NFL parity and economic balance, the Patriots' personnel philosophy has helped to consistently build championship teams that have been greater than the sum of their parts.

What would Clark have to lose by hiring Scott Pioli?
It cant get any worse than it is now? We arent going to win anything meaningful for the next 4 years, so why not just clean house and give the fans some hope? Hope is good! |

Matt Millen? At least he would draft some WR's.
